Chapter 127: Chapter 147: Do You Want to Hold Arms or Something? _1

Accompany?

Lin Chen slightly tilted his head in surprise: "A social engagement?"

Chu Jiaxue pursed her lips, her expression slightly unnatural: "Sort of. He is my university classmate, from Xijing, and he owns a company in Linhai. He came to Pingjiang for some cooperation talks and invited me to dinner. As the host, I couldn’t really refuse."

Lin Chen suddenly understood and smiled: "A pursuer?"

Chu Jiaxue nodded: "Yes, I told him that I’m already married, but he doesn’t believe it. He even said that if I’m really married, he would invite both my husband and me to dinner. I don’t want him to pester me, so I want to completely put an end to his thoughts."

Lin Chen laughed: "So this time, I’m not pretending to be a driver but a husband, right?"

Chu Jiaxue’s expression was a bit awkward. After telling him about it, she realized that it might be a bit improper to ask Lin Chen for this favor. This nominal husband hadn’t taken any advantage, but still had to play the role of her husband without gaining any real benefits.

"Never mind... I’ll bring my marriage certificate, that should be enough to prove that I’m married."

Lin Chen laughed: "Since he’s come all the way to Pingjiang, he must be a die-hard pursuer. Even if you show your marriage certificate, I’m afraid it won’t help much. After all, being married doesn’t mean you can’t divorce... I have nothing better to do anyway, so I’ll accompany you."

Chu Jiaxue stared at Lin Chen’s hearty smile, her eyes slightly puzzled: "Aren’t you angry?"

Lin Chen was taken aback: "Why should I be angry?"

Chu Jiaxue candidly replied: "You and I are fake husband and wife, but I also want you to support and protect me without giving you any real benefits..."

Lin Chen laughed: "I thought it was something serious. Although we’re not real husband and wife, we can still be considered friends. There’s nothing wrong with helping each other out. Besides, now that I’m helping you, I’m just returning the favor you did for me before. You don’t have to feel embarrassed."

Returning the favor?

No wonder Lin Chen always maintained a calm attitude, even when she made various requests, he still complied. It turns out that he was dealing with her with the intention of repaying her kindness.

Chu Jiaxue’s mood became a bit subtle, as if everything was within reason, yet she felt an inexplicable sense of loss.

"Okay, thank you."

Lin Chen joked: "I get to enjoy a lavish meal. It’s great."

Chu Jiaxue glanced at Lin Chen’s T-shirt and thought for a moment: "We have time now, let’s go shopping at the mall."

Lin Chen instantly understood. Since he was going to appear as Chu Jiaxue’s husband, wearing a cheap T-shirt didn’t seem quite appropriate. He might be ridiculed for it again.

"Alright, I’ll buy some decent clothes to improve my appearance."

After having breakfast, Chu Jiaxue and Lin Chen drove to the mall.

Once they entered the mall, Lin Chen became a walking clothes hanger, constantly changing the clothes that Chu Jiaxue picked for him. The sales assistants looked on with subtle expressions on their faces.

Lin Chen and Chu Jiaxue were both handsome and beautiful, but Lin Chen’s outfit added up to less than a thousand yuan, while Chu Jiaxue was dressed head-to-toe in designer clothes, exuding elegance and looking like the epitome of White, Rich, and Beautiful.

A poor young man climbs the social ladder with a wealthy woman and reaches the peak of life?

He must be a gigolo taken care of by a rich woman.

As they continued shopping, Lin Chen changed his entire outfit. People are judged by their clothes and horses by their saddles. Dressed in his new attire, Lin Chen transformed from a poor young man to an elegant gentleman. His laid-back and casual demeanor added an unrestrained charm to his manly allure.

So handsome!

Chu Jiaxue’s eyes sparkled with admiration as she quietly praised Lin Chen’s good looks and temperament. He truly had the air of a male god.

If it weren’t for the numerous troubles she was facing, Chu Jiaxue would want to turn their fake marriage into a real one.

In the evening, Lin Chen drove Chu Jiaxue to the restaurant.

After getting out of the car, Lin Chen smiled and said: "Do you want to hook arms or something?"

Chu Jiaxue’s cheeks reddened slightly: "Okay!"

Lin Chen joked: "Be natural, or our act will backfire."

Chu Jiaxue nodded in agreement, as if to explain her awkwardness: "I’ve never hooked anyone’s arm before, so I don’t have any experience."

Lin Chen reassured her with a smile: "Just think of it as etiquette between men and women. Look at all the award ceremonies, female guests always hook their arms with the male guests."

With Lin Chen’s words, Chu Jiaxue’s nervousness subsided quite a bit, and the action of hooking arms with Lin Chen suddenly became much more natural and smooth.

Her classmate Wang Jianbo had already arrived. Seeing Chu Jiaxue walk into the restaurant with Lin Chen’s arm hooked, his handsome face instantly turned gloomy.

Chu Jiaxue said she was already married, but Wang Jianbo didn’t believe it.

He’d always been paying attention to Chu Jiaxue’s situation. Wasn’t she busy managing the Chuhe Group? She hadn’t even had a boyfriend for such a long time, so how could she suddenly be married?

Perhaps Chu Jiaxue said this on purpose, just to make him give up chasing her.

As for the man who suddenly appeared, Wang Jianbo tended to believe that he was Chu Jiaxue’s friend or an actor hired by Chu Jiaxue just to put on a show for him.

As Lin Chen and Chu Jiaxue approached, Wang Jianbo glanced at them a few times, his eyes filled with uncertainty.

This guy was very manly, very handsome, and dressed in all brand-name clothes. He wore a Patek Philippe watch worth millions on his wrist, and had a laid-back, idle air of a wealthy young master. His appearance with Chu Jiaxue seemed inexplicably well-matched.

Wang Jianbo suddenly became unsure.

Could it be that they were really married?
